In 1820, after the coronation of the Daoguang Emperor, Lady Fuca was granted a title "Concubine Tian". Concubine Tian initially resided in the Palace of Heavenly Grace. She moved to the Palace of Prolonging Happiness in 1825, which was under the jurisdiction of Consort Chang.She was described as a benevolent and virtuous person and praised by palace staff. When her head palace maid fell ill, Concubine Tian sent her to recuperate. In 1843, she participated in banquet after a court session by Empress Dowager Gongci in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility together with other imperial consorts. Every New Year's Day, she burned incenses in the back hall of the Palace of Gathering Elegance for Empress Xiaoshencheng. However, Lady Fuca never rose above the rank of concubine despite her earlier status of secondary consort. On 21 August 1845, when the Palace of Prolonging Happiness caught fire, Concubine Tian failed to escape from the raging flames and died at the age of 58. Her head eunuch was beaten 100 times and exiled to the Amur region. Her coffin was interred at Mu Mausoleum of the Western Qing tombs.
